As of this very moment, Skype‘s network is down:
UPDATED 14:02 GMT: Some of you may be having problems logging into Skype. Our engineering team has determined that it’s a software issue. We expect this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can simply leave your Skype client running and as soon as the issue is resolved, you will be logged in. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Additionally, downloads of Skype have been temporarily disabled. We will make downloads available again as quickly as possible.
For those using the Skype client for free IM and computer-to-computer communication, they should be mildly annoyed. Does this mean that those of us paying the annual fee for SkypeOut will receive some sort of credit for the loss of service? I know that Rogers will offer credits if you complain during a TV and/or Internet service outage. Any guess as to whether Skype will do something similar?
